About

Writing/speaking/teaching to help people create value from data with machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Hey, I'm Louis, thanks for visiting my website!

I'm the author of Bootstrapping Machine Learning, the first guide to Predictive APIs, and a co-founder of PAPIs.io, the world's first conference on Predictive APIs and Predictive Apps. My goal is to help people use new machine learning technologies to make their apps and businesses smarter. I do this by writing, speaking and teaching.

Writing

I use my blog to share my knowledge and my experiences. My most popular articles are:

Online workshop: this course takes place with up to 10 people on a Google Hangouts session where I demonstrate live the key points covered in Bootstrapping Machine Learning and where attendees can ask me questions.

Machine Learning Bootcamp: in continuation of my book, I have also created a 3-day technical course for those interested in programmatic Machine Learning and in creating predictive apps.

Machine Learning for Business I provide a customizable course for non-technical people who want to understand what Machine Learning can bring to their business and how.

More about me

I'm a partner at Codole, a consultancy that specializes in innovation management, data science, and web apps.

In the past few years, I have bootstrapped new technologies in three innovative web applications. I served as Chief Science Officer and then Product Manager at Concept Immo Global, where I was in charge of starting a Research & Development program and turning it into a product. I also co-founded eAuteur, the first fully automated copyright protection service (based on trusted digital time-stamping).

In the academic world, I organized the "Exploration vs Exploitation" challenge and the associated workshop on website optimization at the International Conference on Machine Learning in 2011. I did a PhD in Machine Learning at University College London under the supervision of Prof. John Shawe-Taylor.
